Precision climate engineering since 1998. From a specialized chiller manufacturer to a global HVAC systems integrator serving 72 countries.
TraneThermal was founded in Milwaukee, WI by a team of refrigeration engineers who believed that HVAC systems should be designed for real-world operating conditions, not just nameplate ratings. That philosophy drove us to pioneer variable-speed compressor applications in commercial chillers when the industry was still debating fixed-speed vs. two-stage.
Today, with 1,450 employees across 5 manufacturing plants and 45 service centers, we deliver complete thermal management solutions to some of the world's most demanding environments: hyperscale data centers, GMP pharmaceutical facilities, and cold chain logistics networks spanning six continents.
Started with 12 engineers focused on custom-engineered water-cooled chillers for industrial process cooling.
First commercial chiller with fully variable-speed screw compressor, achieving 0.52 kW/TR IPLV.
Opened European operations center in Frankfurt and Asia-Pacific hub in Singapore, entering 30+ export markets.
Complete product line certified for R-290, R-744, and R-1234ze operation, two years ahead of F-Gas deadlines.
Launched unified IoT control platform with predictive maintenance analytics, now deployed in 2,000+ installations.
TraneThermal holds certifications from nine recognized bodies that validate our quality, safety, and environmental compliance across North American, European, and global markets.
